I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

We'll see. Game development still generally has a lot of advancements it has yet to leverage so I'm comfortable with the choice I've made. I know about the tools to gut regular Windows but I assessed it would take me more effort to weed through than start with bare bones and add what little I wanted in. I've also tended to find every feature and minor update has inevitably messed with an object that is supposed to belong to me so I'm all aboard for not having to deal with that as often thanks to the long-term strategy of LTSC.
